Boyhood romance revealed in rich broker's will
In New York on May 9, reports detail the will of James Carew Russell, head of a Brooklyn coffee firm, who died March 13 leaving $25,000 to Philip T. Welles and $25,000 to Winifred Welles. The provisions aim to benefit Russell Welles and Winifred Welles, with trust incomes secured from husbands and creditors. Russell, born 1834 in Norwichtown, died a bachelor, and his will ties to his long friendship with Mrs. Welles via her children, including John Philip Turner Welles and Russell Welles, who studied at Cornell. The will also leaves the residue to his sisters and mother, with an estate commonly believed to be at least a million. He died of pneumonia, and before death sent a last message to Mrs. Welles through his sister.
